Joining Denplan care
If you are a new patient we will assess your needs with a thorough dental examination and complete any necessary treatment. As an existing patient we will provide a free-of-charge dental check-up to see whether there is any outstanding treatment requirements. Once this treatment is completed, you will be ready to join.
You will then be assessed for Denplan Care. Points are scored for the number and type of fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures and previous dental treatment like root canal treatment. Also the general state of oral hygiene is determined, as is the presence or history of gum disease. A final point score is obtained which will categorise you into one of five groups, A to E. Each group has a set monthly fee with the cheapest being group A, which has the lowest point score.
A contract form is then filled out and your banking details entered as required for the direct debit mandate. This form is then sent to Denplan Ltd. Enrolment is usually in the month following the date of completion of the contract form.
